the few that come to mind are

Oaktree Capital Gores Group Platinum Equity Riordan, Lewis, Haden Equity Partners Kayne Anderson, they have a big office in LA

Honestly, PE in LA is very small compared to NYC. Most LA PE focus on the smaller end of the mid-market. Oaktree, Gores, and Kayne are the three biggest in LA i think. If you really want to work in PE, i would reccmend going to NYC.

--- man made the money, money never made the man
 

Most all of the LA firms have started and most are done recruiting. Ares, Leonard Green, Gores, Aurora, Oaktree have all started or are finished. Platinum and Freeman Splogli are the only large LA firms one that I believe have not started their process.
